THE STORY: Tom and his sister Roe’s childhood comes to a painful end when Richard Miles, who moves in light, arrives in town with his violin in a case.
“…You can hear Tennessee Williams’s dramatis personae echoing through this evening of one-acts…” —The New Yorker.

“[DESIRE] is rife with agonized sexual longing, trembling Southern belles and spasms of violence…Most American playwrights working today owe some debt to Williams; it’s a pleasure, even inspiring, to see six give back.” —Time Out New York.

Included in the collection Desire – Six One-Act Plays.
